Who is the PHCC?

The CUPE Manitoba Provincial Health Care Council is an elected committee of CUPE Manitoba representing health care support workers across the province.

The PHCC brings together representatives from hospitals, personal care homes, community clinics, and more to discuss issues affecting health care in the province, and to negotiate collective agreements with the Health Authorities.

If you have problems in your workplace, please contact your local shop steward, or your union executive.

The Recruitment, Retention & Education Fund (RREF)

The Recruitment, Retention and Education Fund was created to support CUPE health care members under the jurisdiction of the PHCC to attend educational or upgrading courses to enhance their employability within health care where CUPE classifications would apply.

Priorities have been determined and will be given funding preference for Health Care Aides, Health Care Aides/Unit Clerks, Recreation Facilitator, Health Information Technician, Sterile Processing Technician, and others as deemed by the Committee.

Every Canadian deserves to retire in dignity with a decent retirement income.

Defined benefit pension plans are the best and most efficient way to provide a secure and predictable income for CUPE members and all Canadian workers. They’re an essential part of Canada’s pension system. CUPE is dedicated to protecting and strengthening our member’s pension plans, and helping ensure all Canadians have a secure retirement income.

Yet over 11 million Canadians are without a workplace pension. That is why CUPE is advocating for an expansion of the Canada Pension Plan – the most affordable and effective way to ensure as many Canadians as possible can retire with dignity.
